What I didn't agree with was the notion that the Atkin's Diet was based on lower calorie consumption. The diet is based on carb reduction and staying in a state of ketosis.

I'm trying to figure out the difference between the diet advocated by Dr. Bernstein and the Atkin's Diet.

As far as the nuts go, I suppose it's hard for me to accept that high calorie, low carb foods, such as nuts, can actually help one lose weight.
